This unique portal offers not just spiritual upliftment, but practical ways to make the most of Ramadan, the blessed month of fasting and seeking closeness to God. Hundreds of tips and thoughtful advice await.

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time (Muslim). That should give us the incentive to carefully plan our days and hours so we can too.

Summer is a good time to help your kids reconnect with the Muslim community, since weekend Islamic school and other programs at the mosque take a hiatus. That means less of a chance to learn and socialize in an Islamic atmosphere on a consistent basis.

The challenge when Ramadan and summer coincide is that summer is all about leisure, and Ramadan is about pushing ourselves spiritually. With leisure time and Ramadan at their longest this year, there are still ways we can adjust our schedules to make the most of the blessed month spiritually.

For some youth, Ramadan isn’t that familiar. They might hear about it now and then from the news or from books, but since their homes aren’t as observant of the special month, they too remain unaware. Don’t assume that just because someone is not fully practicing, that they are doing it on purpose.

When it comes to Ramadan, consulting family and friends about the blessed month can and should go beyond generalities. Here are five specific issues to discuss, debate, and agree on that can help you maximize the benefits of this special time.

The only way we can truly make the space necessary for spiritual development this Ramadan is by freeing up our schedule. Dropping the unnecessary and curbing or rescheduling the necessary are among the best ways to to do that. Here are some ideas.

It’s no secret that the prayer lines dwindle considerably after Ramadan, as many people fall back into their old routines, leaving the best of their Islamic spirit dormant until next year’s Ramadan. But you can break that cycle, by breaking your own bad habits.
